Coroner update awaits governor's approval in Colo.

DENVER—An update to Colorado antiquated coroner system awaits the governor's signature. The state House took a final vote on the update Thursday, sending the measure to the governor.

The bill updates death-investigation protocol. Changes include a requirement that law enforcement must call coroners as soon as a body is discovered—not after a potential crime scene investigation is complete.
